Subject: Hello
From Mr. Paul obi
bill and exchange dept.
Bank of Africa Plc.
Foreign remittance
My name is Mr. Paul obi. I work with the bank of Africa Plc manager, bill
and exchange of the foreign remittance department. In the discharge of my
duty, I stumbled on this domiciliary account that has remained dormant for
six months now with thirty five million, five hundred thousand United States
dollars ($35.5million) in it. On personal investigation, I discovered that
the account holder died in auto crash accident with the members of his
family who should be the next of kin to the amount, all I need you to do is
to stand as the next of kin to our late customer so that this funds can be
transferred into your nominated bank account.
On further investigation, I found out that: -
a) he has no other living declared relative
b) he had died interstate (without making a will)
c) he was into real estate venture (realtor)
accordingly, all attempts to trace a next of kin has been fruitless.
I am writing you so that we can work together to remit this amount of money
into your account as the next of kin hence the depositor happened to be a
foreigner. All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be
carefully worked out from my table and i will perfect every documents to be
in accordance to the banking laws and guild lines hence you have nothing to
worry about for I am assuring you a 100% risk free transaction.
It is simple process, which will take a short while to process. Outside
this, the bank management will confiscate this amount of money as uncleared
effects and send back to the deposit insurance corporation account.
If I hear from you, I will tell you all you need to know about the money and
the operational method we can use to affect the remittance into your account
for our mutual benefit. Also include your full name, address and phone
number.
Sincerely
Mr. Paul obi
